Folks-
I apologize for starting a related thread.
I would like a dual street / track (DE) tire. I live in Maryland, so cold and rain rule out Michelin Pilot Sport Cups (or so I have been told).
Like the Germans, my wife or I will be driving the 997 Turbo, in all conditions.
I have a 996 GT3 with Toyo Proxes tires that are great for use. The 997 GT3 nd GT3RS come with Michelin Pilot Sport Cups, I believe.
But for 80% street use and 20% track - can anyone make me a recommendation (I don't always want to change tires at the track!!! - it is not as much fun driving there)
So, any opinions? Bridgestone Potenza RE050A or Michelin Pilot Sport P02? Or the Michelin Pilot Sport Cups?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated - thanks in advance - Gerry

The RE050A are pretty decent, and are actually wider than the PS2's. They also weigh more, but cost about 40% less. If I were you, I would not use street tires on the track. You can get Hoosier R6's in 19" sizes that will cost less than $300/ corner.

No one has driven on all tires in the same car. In my experience the PS2s are better wet and dry than many other higt performance tires. Had them now on 3 cars and love them.

Look forward to your comparison. I would opt for PS2's (keeping my fingers crossed that my car will come in with them). If not I will just keep them (they'll wear down quick enough).
